Nebraska Making a Last "Minute" Push To Flip 5* QB Dylan Raiola

I wonder if this means Rhule is happy with a QB room of Purdy, Harberg, Raoila and Kaelin?View attachment 103265

If you are building for the long term you are happy with that room. Some growing pains in 24 instead of 25. Plus the early part of the schedule next year is manageable. Not saying we will start 7-0. But we can compete against that schedule with a young QB, a good defense and good special teams. Why delay the development of your young QB’s? I hope Chubba stays and competes as well.

DR isn't your normal QB coming in, (aside from his physical attributes). He has been groomed to be a pro QB for years now, with the best coaching $ can buy. Hopefully that will ease his transition into college ball. Growing pains for sure, but much less so than most incoming freshmen. Better/improved parts around him would help greatly.

It's all the off the field stuff that will probably be the hardest part for him (classes, living independently, social, etc.)

I look at it as development plus winning. Early on, if Chubbas the man, he gets the start, but bring in DR for a series or two.

I also look at it as us vs a very good Iowa D two years ago, where we just kept dropping it over their heads. We have a guy in DR that can do just that, we have proven speed in our Young wrs.
Consistency in the long ball will scare any DC

Raiola is probably even with McCord day one and would take his job by week 2 or 3. I’d tell him no as well and take the $ he was going to get and put it toward OL or WR.

Gary Sharp thinks an announcement could come in the next few hours. Go to the 1:23 mark. Discussion right before about Dayton.

 

[Red Reign]

Greg Sharpe expects the announcement to come this afternoon because they do not want to interfere with the VB National Title Game tomorrow

His sister plays VB at TCU to boot

 

[skerBob]

Do you expect DR shows up at the VB watch party?

Everyone talks about Chubba leaving. Why would he do that, and where would he go? His resume is not sparkling, what with few appearances and many injuries. His best shot at time on the field is here for at least this next year.

He at least should see what it looks like in spring ball.

That last line is a great analogy.

 

[huskernut]

So the only think so far with any confirmation is DK reaffirming? So all the excitement and tribulation and we are still right where we started???

It's still the first quarter. Have a Runza.

 

[CombatTargeteer]

Will Chubba be medically ready for spring ball?

I don’t know about that. The guy has some talent. He might absolutely flourish at the FCS level. Starting and excelling at the FCS level is probably a better pathway to the NFL than being a career backup in a P5 program.

Oh good question.

You truly are incapable of seeing past the nose on your face aren’t you? A week ago, we had DK and nothing else. Since then we pulled in a 5 star QB and as quickly as he came he was gone. And now we are waiting for another 5 star QB to announce his plans. He travelled to Nebraska to either announce his commitment to Nebraska or to reaffirm his commitment to UGA. So no. We are in a different place. But yes, you are correct that at 1:57 today, we only have Kaelin, and even he hasn’t signed an LOI.

How are you going to take it if both DR and DK sign? Are you going to be ok? Or will you require some counseling? I’m truly concerned that if something good happens you might melt down.
